The Klinkhoff family sold works directly on behalf of these artists and/or their estates: Molly Lamb and Bruno Bobak, Paul-Émile Borduas, Sam Borenstein, Frederick Simpson Coburn, Nora Collyer, Berthe des Clayes, Marc Aurèle Fortin, Clarence Alphonse Gagnon, Prudence Heward, Randolph Hewton, Edwin Holgate, A.Y.

In addition to our associations with artists and/or their Estates Galerie Walter Klinkhoff has prepared and presented almost 40 museum-style retrospective exhibitions.
With a view in mind to studying them and sharing their virtues with others in the art community these annual non-selling shows feature an important selection of works by one or another Canadian artist who we admire. We have undertaken this visual and academic study of several of the artists mentioned above as well as Emily Carr, Adrien Hébert, David Milne, M.A. Suzor-Coté and Albert H. Robinson to name only a selection. For more than 35 years Eric Klinkhoff has been preparing the catalogue raisonné of the work of the important Canadian impressionist Maurice Cullen.
The Gallery represents a select group of established investment quality contemporary artists, each original in style and painting with the utmost integrity. We are of the opinion that each is making a unique contribution to the field of Canadian art of this generation. We select from them the finest works available and encourage an admiring public to add these artists to their budding collections.

I understand that you will have an exhibition and sale of "Important Canadian Art" this coming January and think you may be interested in the following paintings by John Little:
"Old Rue Ste-Cecile - 24"h x 30"w unframed, oil on canvas
"Sketch Winter Charlevoix County, Que. March 1967 J.C.L",12"h
x16"w framed, oil on canvas board, C.R. Crowley, Continental
Galleries of Fine Art
The first of the above is especially interesting as this street, located behind St. James' Cathedral, no longer exists. I found a similar, if not identical photo of it on google, however the dimensions quoted are not the same.
The second painting is magnificent, much brighter than most of Little's
"children playing hockey paintings" as this one was painted in Charlevoix County rather than a Montreal neighborhood.
These paintings have been in my family's possession since the mid-60's. If you are interested in seeing these paintings, please let me know. I can be reached by email or by calling (514) 428-0172.
Many thanks and kind regards!
This second painting's title is in John Little's hand at the back of the canvas board and there is a little brass band with the artist's name on the frame's front.
